The problem in Illinois is Chicago. And in Chicago the weapons of choice are handguns.

It wasn't really "kept in place". The Court merely declined to take it up until it was clarified in lower courts.

The problem in Illinois is Chicago. And in Chicago the weapons of choice are handguns.

And more than 60% of gun crime in Chicago is done with guns purchased out of state.

And more than 60% of gun crime in Chicago is done with guns purchased out of state.

Then that is already illegal. And regulated.

Basically you can do the following:

1. To buy a handgun you have to be 21.

2. If you are over 18 and an Illinois or bordering state resident from Wisconsin, Iowa, Missouri, Kentucky, or Indiana you CAN buy a long gun though.

3. All other out of state purchases must go thru an FFL. Meaning the hand gun gets sent to an FFL in Illinois and a background check is done.

Any other way is illegal.

#2 is the method that more than 60% of guns used in Chicago gun crime are procured.

Most gun crime in Chicago is done with handguns, not long guns, which are rifles.

The ATF report shows 9mm pistols — manufactured by Glock, Taurus and Smith & Wesson — were the firearms most often traced in Chicago. That also was true in other big cities.

In Chicago, most of the traced guns, about 16,500 of them, were bought from somewhere within Illinois, with about 8,200 more coming from Indiana. Wisconsin, Kentucky and Mississippi each was the source of fewer than 2,000 guns.

Shorter ‘time-to-crime’ for guns used in crimes in Chicago than in NY, LA, a sign of illegal trafficking, Justice Department says

The period from when a gun is bought until it’s recovered in a crime was far lower in Chicago than in New York or Los Angeles, according to a new federal Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives report.

I don’t know why not… the guns are a far better investment than the children will ever be.

Wrong, dumb ass......

The Chicago Gun Myth | National Review

Lightfoot claims that 60 percent of the guns used in Chicago murders are bought from out of state. I assume she is relying on 2017’s suspect “gun trace report,” which looked at guns confiscated in criminal acts from 2013 and 2016.

Even if we trusted the city’s data, most guns used in Illinois crimes are bought in-state. If gun laws in Illinois — which earns a grade of “A-“ from the pro-gun-control Gifford Law Center, tied for second highest in the country after New Jersey — are more effective than gun laws in Missouri, Wisconsin, or Indiana, why is it that FFL dealers in suburban Cook County are the origin point for a third of the crime guns recovered in Chicago, and home to “seven of the top ten source dealers”?

According to the trace study, 11.2 percent of all crime guns recovered in Chicago could be tracked to just two gun shops.


The only reason, it seems, criminals take the drive to Indiana is because local gun shops are tapped out. There is a tremendous demand for weapons in Chicago. That’s not Mississippi’s fault. And Lightfoot’s contention only proves that criminals in her city can get their hands on guns rather easily, while most law-abiding citizens have no way to defend themselves.


Lightfoot may also be surprised to learn that California borders on states with liberal gun laws, such as Arizona, Nevada, and Oregon. Yet no big city in California has quite the murder and criminality of Chicago. New York borders on states with liberal gun laws, such as Vermont, Pennsylvania, and New Hampshire. Yet NYC’s murder rate is only fraction of Chicago’s. Texas gets an “F” from Gifford Law Center, yet Houston and Dallas have murder rates that are half of that in Chicago. The rates in Austin and El Paso are tiny when compared to Chicago.

Wrong.....you liar....

This brings me to my favorite part.


The gun-grabbers will argue: Guns are shipped into these cities from places without tough gun control laws!
Okay, then shouldn’t these places where all the guns supposedly originate from be even more violent?

And more than 60% of gun crime in Chicago is done with guns purchased out of state.

And 95% from handguns. So what

Does the decision renew the left's faith in the Supreme Court? Only for a day.

The USSC did not issue a stay.
That's it.

Truth.
